if we begin to cite types of technology (EDGE) then perhaps we also need to define whether its mobile BB or Fixed (wired or wireless) BB.    I'd say for  nationally relevant broadband, a greater chunk should be fixed (for education institutions, healthcare, govt, etc).   Of course there will be pockets where Mobile BB will be relevant....but having said that, devices for fixed BB are more pervasive/accessible.    

On a side note - while we have operators offering 3G, I'd be wary of calling that mobile BB if you can only get the service within major cities....and step down to EDGE outside the cities :-) Not quite mobile is it?

I would suggest that we set Broadband as 1 Mbps, 256 Kbps is Edge, and a low limit would not help the country in attaining much in this age of video streaming and other data hungry applications
